PLEASE HELP

About a month ago I got a Blood Parrot Cichlid  as a tankmate for my 2 afrian clawed frogs. Up until yesterday he seemed fine, he ate(a lot) I feed sinking shrimp pellets which my frogs and my cichlid love. Bubbles(my BPC) semed to be fine, but yesterday I noticed he had a black spot on him, it wasn't very big, and hardly noticeable, but I noticed it. Today it seemed to be more prominant, and perhaps a bit darker. I also noticed that he has a bit of black on his back fin, or tail(again hardly noticeable but still there). Is this some sort of disease?

My three blood parrots

Well I just thought I'd share a video of my three babies.  Peaches, Pebbles, and Bam-Bam.
I hope you can see it clearly.

I really need everyones opinion...

I have 3 BP's. 2 of which have decided to shack up together for quite some time now. Lets call them Zeke&Ruth. They have been shacked up in this one particular cup. As many of you know, BP's are protective and territorial,  Zeke is very protective of his Ruth and his area. Now this leaves the last BP, lets call him Titus (TT-our nickname for him). Zeke ocassionally beats the trash out of TT when he goes anywhere near his cup.

Please Help!!!

Please help!! my parrot just recover from parasite and now they start eating again. Now I saw one of them with cotton wool growing in the head. One with blacken eye. They had like air bubbles come out of their mouth. It look sticky and floating on the top of the tank.
Is it fungus or what? I change water every week but when I test the water still high in NO3 :100, GH 16, KH 15, PH 8.0, CL2 OK

Please suggest anything to help water quality and my fish to be happier...Thanks
